Hi /g/, looking for a laptop for around $250 of a high quality for the price. I was looking at a Lenovo Thinkpad T420, however decided against it, as they seem too heavy for me to carry around each day. Any recommendations?
>>53430787
>Too heavy
Do you have kermit the frog arms?
>>53430787
X220
although T420's aren't that heavy for a 14" enterprise laptop...
>too heavy
I'm weak and I carry everyday books and a T410 on my schoolbag
Are you a homo op?
>he fell for the C meme
>>53430752
it's programmer fault. If you like a program that consider you a retarded try Java
>implying there would be no catastrophic mistakes if we used some other language
humans gonna human

Why don't we have these yet?
What's the point?

For one, it would be an actual technological feature that would make an impact in the watch industry unlike these digital watch memes. This is why i always shit on Apple and other idiots for tackling the watch sector too early, without understanding the extent of change they have to bring to have any relevance in it.
Basically a mobile phone around your wrist that can shit out a holographic projection in the air, or few if you are a multi-monitor fag, which can be manipulated to an extent.
No more of that shit about having a heart attack every time your drop your phone.
No more of that shit about finger reach on phones.
No more of that "not enough screen size" shit.
It would also revolutionize laptops (by simply having a keyboard like those old retro computers) which can shit out a holoscreen or few.
Gathered the battery issue would have to be resolved,
and it would be preferable to have a real monitor at home with proper coloring and shit,
but for portable devices this is a Heaven-sent technology.

Sounds like a gimick
Well /gentooman, now it's the time. I have to do this step. i've have always told everyone to use linux and why they should have done this, but in two days i discovered i was completely wong.
I have always used fedora, but as soon as new laptop arrived i said "let's do some distro testing, why not?"
1) Lubuntu: No wifi, i load them into the kernel, works fine, turn it on and off a couple of time during the day, when i turn it on again -> the distro broke, it broke by itself. well, let's try some other shit
2) Kubuntu, because i have always loved KDE as DE. install it, it's fucking broken and no audio. spend some time to fix it, but still no audio. no solutions.
3) Arch: install it, fix it, start to rice it, i finish, i start doing my work, crash -> systemd broke my distro. well... cool.
4) a fork of mandriva (can't remember the name, i think it's #7 on distrowatch), won't boot properly
5) linux (le hacker meme) mint: no wifi. i had to build the modules and load them into the kernel, then drivers and shit and only then i was able to browse dankememe.
this operating system it's a fucking mess. i could not notice it because i was stuck with my distro on the same computer, for doing the same stuff, but sometimes it's just frustrating,
This sistem is the opposite of the user friendly, and it won't gain over windows, no fucking way.
Why this /g? It makes no sense, if you want to spread an OS you should make it "justwerk.iso" not "unfuckme.iso"
>>53430700
install gentoo
>>53430700
It's rock solid on headless servers. Linux is not a desktop OS no matter how much basement dwelling neckbeards want it to be.
Sounds like the common factor was the new laptop.
post predictions
There's nothing to predict as everything has already been leaked
>>53430525
I think we've seen enough leaks to know what's coming.

Only thing I'm waiting for are release dates to get my umbrella ready when shit hits the fan.

how's it feeling knowing that all your life's work only benefits the haves at the expense of the have-nots, while further widening the gap between them and doing nothing to solve any actual world problems?

Get lost faggot
WMs are the best for older hardware.

it is already 3rd month of 2016, where is Zen?
Stuff is ALWAYS late. Always.
Zen was expected at the end of the year Q4 I believe
>>53430024
If Zen were released now it would be early if anything
AMD has a presentation about Zen next monday.
Hey /g/aytards
I recently used unetbootin to install ubuntu as a dualboot with windows10. Everything is normal, except that i can't install ubuntu. I run the installer when booted into ubuntu, let it install and reboot, and then its back to the live version. No matter what i do, nothing really works. So here i am, begging for help, as a windows shill who wants to switch to GNU/linux.
Please help me, you are my last hope.
Cum on plis
>>53429733
Fuck off. /g/ is a slow board, you don't need to bump the thread every five goddamn minutes. I could help you, but I'm not going to because you're obnoxious.
Is a 400$ 3D printer a complete shit or is acceptable?
If you really frigging want a 3d printer it'll work. Build volume will be much smaller though, and quality will be limited
>>53429713
Can you 3D print dragon dildos with it?
>>53429713
The printer its not where its at.
The fucking wire you see costs a fortune since there is only one company that manufactures it and owns all the patents and shit.
Good luck
I think I have a problem with my CPU
recently I changed my GPU, and after a shit ton of problems (due to the fact that I suck shit at computers), I had to reset the BIOS. Thing is, now, my boot up is very long (the first screen of American Megatrends takes like 2 minutes to go away), and I have CPU activity spikes during gaming sessions that make my games stutter very slightly when shit is happening.
Thing is, due to the boot up being very long, I can't access my BIOS for some reason, even though I'm pressing the right key, so I can't see if the settings are on Auto or anything
Sometimes, my core voltage goes from 0.7v to 1.2v, on CPUZ.
I have an Intel i5 3570k @ 3.40Ghz and a Gigabyte Z77-D3H, I'm running on Win7
what can I do ?
A couple of thoughts: That board has a dual bios/uefi. Also a 3d power utility program. I suspect the interaction might causing problems. I would first reset the cmos. Then I would disable that 3d thing. Reset the bios again. Pick uefi if thats compatible with all your equipment. I would turn off all power savings stuff for your cpu in the bios as well. Have you done all this yet?
>>53429616
I haven't, but I already resetted the CMOS when I was mounting the GPU (because I had problems), and I think it started after I did that, so maybe resetting it loaded the default options and activated those power savings things.
But I can't access the BIOS, the American Megatrends screen (that appears when I boot up) takes like two minutes to go away, and when I press delete to enter the BIOS, it just displays a black screen..
>>53429636
when you turn it on, spam that delete key until the speaker starts beeping dawg

This fucking OS is destroying my work flow right now it's taking so long to reboot i was able to boot my laptop up and write all this *looks at computer* yup still rebooting. What a fucking joke.

Why aren't you using OS X El Capitán?
>>53429404
Because I'm straight

ugly culture demon needs his throat slit. this is ur final warning before i put a binding on you. post this disgusting piece of shit again and i'll adjust your fate, bigtime.
>>53429412
What do you mean by this?
What does /g/ think about powerline networking adapters?
I use a set for extending my wifi into my living room. Justwerkz/10
I use them, they are fairly reliable but add a bit of latency which jumps up and down I guess depending on interference, but I'm not a gamer so idc
>>53429365
Pretty neat, I use it to have a way to get internet upstairs. Using a gigabit model, I get from about ~180mbps downstairs, ~80mbps upstairs (using wifi extending this would just be 8mbps)
